Quick Peek
"Wanted" tells the tale of one apathetic nobody's transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. Twenty-five-year-old Wes is the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chews him out hourly, his girlfriend ignores him routinely and his life plods on interminably. Everyone is certain this disengaged slacker will amount to nothing. There is little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut. Until he meets a woman named Fox. After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad's death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself. With wickedly brilliant tutors-including the Fraternity's enigmatic leader, Sloan-Wes grows to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But, slowly, he begins to realize there is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes comes to learn what no one could ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny.

If it wasn't for Angelina Jolie and those hot lip of hers this movie would've gotten a a D+ and I would've ask for my money back.
Pros: Angelina is just so freak'n hot (streach marks and all)
Cons: Plot was to quick and predictable

I love action movies and in this regard I am very picky with the acting. This movie by far exceedeed my expectations. Great acting for James McAvoy--wow! his versatile roles left me expecting a weak character for this movie, but he stood up to the role and made it work. I don't know why people would have bad things to say except that it is a violence-laden movie, quite graphic so expect to see that. As far as the plot, if you are not capable of following complex stories that make you think and surprise you, then this movie may not be for you. I reccomend it to anyone looking for a good action thrill...
